Teacher's day celebration. Was quite fun.

Here's Cr with his sash thingy. Lol. We played "I never..." or "I am so deprived I have never..." and the details are pretty long so I won't post how to play it. It was quite interesting though. We also played Native American Poker. Yup. If you're wondering what's that, Its Indian Poker, but I decided to give it a less racially offensive name hahahaha...


Interesting watching Sunny(I am resisting the urge to call him Sn here. =D) and Sharaf do their forfeits. Lol.Concert was quite ok. There was an Organic Chem song by Mr Lu(another element name, mind you.) and it was pretty cool. Definitely Mugalo material. Lol. I recorded that. After that, went for the cake cutting thing. Nice idea, nice try, but uh, not very practical.

Cr and Mrs W


Cake. Cutting. Ceremony or something like that...look at all the umbrellas. =X

I couldn't focus and mug today. Sigh. =[

Hello friends! Back again. Came back quite late so decided not to blog. I have 37 pics approx to post. =X After the 28th, I attended my grandma's b'day celebrations after mugging till about 530 in school...blogged about that already. Wed...slept in because I could. Robbed of my chances on Mon and Tue. Went for the SMU visit.


And SMU was totally cool. I loved the place. We had this short lecture on Visual Design in Marketing, and it was really interesting. To me, at least. It was total freaking awesomeness. It was as far from an accursed bloody JC as you could get. The disparity is great. And I am very interested in this course. Advertising industry doesn't sound too bad.


Ha! I spit in your eye, typical Singaporean mindset. Maybe I will scoff in the face of science and do artsy things. Maybe I will. I've found myself to be kinda artistically inclined before. =D The course uses photography(hello, my favourite activity!) and creativity and stuff which is basically like a huge sign with flashing lights screaming "THIS IS FOR YOU! JOIN ME TODAY!" I like being creative. Glad I went for the trip. Now I really want to get in. =X And here comes the hard part...sigh.


Anyway, after that I went home, left to go to Shawn house which was totally unproductive, as I only did a few questions of the hard HCI paper. =\ I also lost copious amounts of blood which had to be stemmed with toilet paper but it was for my own good. Went home at 12AM, slept at about 1. Today I woke earlier than usual. Went for breakfast, did a little stuff, tuition.


Ben and Val asked me to go to Ikea but I had tuition in the middle of the day. =[ And tomorrow will be kinda fun I think. for a few hours. Then I'll probably study in the study room till evening or night or something. I don't think anyone will want to study with me...since they're all probably going back to their secondary schools. But if anyone's staying back, just tell me or something? Mugging alone can be quite boring...sigh.


I've got no reason to return to my POS school anyway. The principal is bonkers (whoever heard of cancelling all CCAs so students will do better and have more time to study? The stupid punks probably use the free time to loiter about Compass Point. Genius, I tell you. =.= And the muggers can't use two points to their advantage.) and my school is fast becoming a holding area for all the hooligans and trash of society already.


We pull the school grades up for the future batches to drag it down again. I think this year's batch was the last good one, or something like that. Either way it's going downhill anyway. Plus, most of all the teachers I knew have left. I had some good memories there with my friends, but it's not worth anything to go back now the place is going south.


Uh...pics...

Thyis happened the day I bought the world. Wasn't cheap, you know.

Ikea light at Cavana


My finger with that sick little bubble.

The day after I killed it.

Time.

Some misprint in the bio notes.

Toast dipz! ^^

What' wrong with the kids meal at Ikea?

Random.

With all the burning and ashes, even the birds are dusty coloured...

It would be tremendous fun to drive this into the school. And by into, I mean into.

During transition elements. Told you I was artistically inclined! Ha-ha! =P


Lieutenant-General Galvyn: get your pics here.

Some bottle I got at Ikea.
















Remember Snakes on a Plane? How about Spiders on a Bus! Not scary?

Giant Spiders on a Bus. You should be able to guess how I took this shot. No Photoshopping. Um...those who don't like hairy things with more that two legs just scroll to the last picture.


Say CHEESE!



This was when I was having Ben and Jerry's with Galvyn. Somehow it turned out pretty darn nice, if I do say so myself. Looks yummy to me still. And it cost $7. His was $7.50 and smaller than mine. =P

Payoff!!! =D Much happiness. Chem consultation went quite well. Remembered a lotta stuff. Galvyn you've gotta work harder man. =[ I remembered the explanation for why complex ion are coloured which was a source of much pride since it was where I got stuck yesterday. All the forced stuffing and self inflicted mental harm beyond my body and mind's limit sure is paying off. What's a few brain cells compared to our country's economic growth right? Right?


After that, went for breakfast at Macs with Geri and Galvyn, met Dan. Went back to school to mug in the study room. Put in about 7 hours. Did all my tuition homework, and slowly kept going through those I did not know how to do. The constant grinding of my mind had only limited success and I solved only two of the I-dunno-how-to-do questions, sadly. Left at about 530 for my great gandma's b'day dinner.


Was quite fun, met up with my cousins and all. Played frisbee on the large and empty first floor. Lol. Plenty of pics...but...I'm putting it off again...this weekend I hope. When I don't come home too late. There's pics of my two cutest cousins. =D


One of them was eating a packet of Twisties, then the other stretched out his hand. So he gave him one stick. After finishing it, he reached out for another one, and my cousin gave it to him. Must be good to be a kid. You don't see such unconditional giving often now. To be a kid, to have (to paraphrase FSJ) "A sense of innocent childlike wonder" with the world around. Pure innocence, no guiles or double lives. No politics, no pressure, WYSIWYG. What you see is what you get. Everything would be much simpler. But it's not like that.

Today was a very fun day. Jolly good, as the Brits might say. (Yes, I'm aware it rhymes.) Went for chem consultation, improved a teensy little bit. Went home bathed, was about to go out when it rained. Pushed the timing to 2pm. Met Eliza at Yoshi then. She left around 6, and I was going to go too, but I decided that mugging at home was too risky.


So I turned back. Mugged intro to periodic, group 2, 7, and trans elements for about 7 hours non-stop. I think this would not have been possible at home. It was horrible. The memory of the experience is enough me make me feel sick. Not the mugging.


I've mugged for longer hours. It was when I hit saturation point. Then it became pure unadulterated slow torture. Memorising all the trends, the info, the little-bitty bits of information, cramming it all inside, recalling past things at random times to ensure I had it inside me. Then I hit it, Ionic product=Ksp.


7 pages from the end. It was like ARGHHHH. And I HAD to finish. No way. NO -bleep-ing way so close to the end. So I forged on. Cramming more in when I was full. I felt like slamming my face into my notes for all the help it would give. As I write this my head is throbbing. Ionic product greater than Ksp. Precipitate formed. When I die under the "Keep Singapore's ageing population DOWN" campaign at the govt-stipulated age of 65 in 2055, and give my CPF away, by HOTA (Human Organ Transplant Act - Everyone is automatically inside! Hassle-free!) they will cut open my head and find a line of black text: "The d electron undergoes d-d transition to be promoted to a higher d orbital." This is where I hit my saturation point.


I just kept stuffing and stuffing. Compressing and shoving outside old info and creating as much space as I could. It was like stuffing clothes into an already full suitcase. I also felt literally like I was slamming my face into my notes. The text was going going going bang! Jammed. Reverse...bang! Reverse...bang! Reverse...smash! Inside.


I was very surprised when I got it all in at the end. I never thought I'd make it. I was one of the last few people at yoshi already. I left triumphant. But with a head that felt totally packed with stuff. I didn't even want to think. I went dangerously close to the edge of the LRT tracks and someone nearly bumped me off, but I didn't feel anything. All I wanted was to get home and take a break. Stop the thinking for a while. Relieve the mental strain. I'm kinda tired now so I'll probably have to do M.A.G.E's quiz some other day...I'm in the mood for some mindless entertainment. Satisfy me, tinseltown!


Time to go watch some movies suyi lent me form yesterday...

Went for inline skating, missed econs lecture. Choontee and XW were there also. I had breakfast at Ya Kun with Xw which was yummy! lol. The choco dipz thing was nice. Toasted bread with warm chocolate, its like fondue. The thick and smooth chocolate complements the crispness of the bread both in texture and taste.


Went home, sorted out stuff to do, and watched TV got a few hours. I dunno how long has it been since I actually sat down and caught a show in full, instead of a snatch of a few seconds or minutes. Basically I just return home at 1030pm, bathe, possibly eat a little, possibly go online, and then go to bed.


I realised there were a lot of program changes and I didn't know about, and the History Channel is damn cool. It discussed on why on the last day of WWI, more soldiers died than on D-Day. And there were quite a lot of sad stories of soldiers who survived through the entire war(years!) from day 1 only to die during the last hours of it.


16 mins before armistice was to take effect, this group of soldiers were informed of it. One guy climbed over the trenches and started walking toward enemy lines. His friends tried to pull him back. The German soldiers were waving at him to go back. A shot to the head, and he died at 1059AM, officially becoming the last US casualty of WWI, 1 min before it ended.


Other were ordered by officers to charge into battle in the last hours, even though they could easily have strolled peacefully into the land simply the next day. Anyway, had a big meal at Ikea with the parents, wandered about it and Courts. Then I saw this cool video playing in an imac. I never saw it before, and its pretty cool. It reminds me uncannily of Death Note...strange the Wiki article never mentioned the similarity of it...(video is right below)


Went for supper with Shawn ans Suyi at Xin Wang later. Talked a lot. Life in secondary school was much better. We've all grown apart form our closest friends. Different schools, different institutions, different timings...I remember looking back at the class room, saying goodbye to the last few people outside of it, and thinking that no good would come out of it. I was right.


Sorry-Video here. Embedding it looks ugly and besides, my blog space isn't big enough to view the whole thing.

Ooh...blogger was down recently so it could add a new button called "add video". Lol. Fascinating. Today was the last day of school before prelims. Eveyrone was giving out stuff. Ben was "absent" so I collected his stuff for him which turned out to be one hugeee stack of notes. Rest of the day was ok. Couldn't wait for it to end. H didn't rail at me for anything...=X So it was lucky, and I did kinda-sorta-improve a little bit which was probably why. Though I still failed miserably. And the Great Study Break has begun.


Went to the Study Room to mug after school, did my tuition questions, completed my tuition homework...tak came by at 3 plus, and we brisk walked/jogged to ikea to find Ben and Val with her classmates, and then back to school again, mugged some more, left at 845. Not very productive becuase I couldn't find anything to do after finishing my tuition work and my eye hurt so I ended up playing worms on my phone. =.= Staring at a screen watching tiny annelids throw explosive devices at each others.


My eye still hurts. And my study break isn't really that big a deal considering that
Sat: Back to school for PE elective...which clashes with Econs lec.
Mon: Back to school for chem compulsory consultation and test
Tue: Back to school for chem compulsory consultation and test
Wed: Back to school for visit to SMU at 145
Thurs: Back to school for TEachers Day celeb
There you have it. My first week. Stuffed full of wonder and surprises. Yay.

HAHA. I DID IT! I finally passed NAPFA lol. This despite the uncomfortable urge to sh!t during the 2.4 =.= But I pushed on all the way to the end, and made it with 14 seconds to spare. And I beat Danson by 1 second. I am t3h win! =D


I didn't make the pull ups, but I did it on the second try, and made it ok. Finally. After all the sweat and uh, no tears actually, but pain. Quite a bit of it. Lol. The sense of satisfaction is quite good. Haha! You'll never get me now!


Needless to say I will have to start exercising after 'A's again or I'm going to be in some deep sh!t too. Rest of the day was quite ok. Got a lot of papers back and my file was totally full. Went to Cavana at WS after sch to mug with ben, tak, val, and junyu.


Studied till about 930, but math was really slow going. Did a few tuition questions only. Oh, and maybe it was a combination of the run and/or the cold weather but my legs started to hurt quite badly later on. The radio said that it was pouring in most of Singapore, but I guess Pasir Ris was Most'(Most prime), the set of places that was not experiencing this torrential downpour.


Either way, Cavana wasn't that cold, but the aircon at NTUC was freakin' strong, or maybe it was just me. But I was glad I had a jacket. These pains have been occurring since I was a kid, but less frequently since I've grown older. The only correlation is due to experiencing cold, such as when it's a cold night and I didn't use a blanket, or if the fan is blowing at my legs, or I'm sleeping on a mattress. BUT, correlation does not imply causality, and most of the time I sleep or stay in aircon rooms , I'm ok, but sometimes it hits.


And it can get quite bad. Many a night I've spent in pain wishing for this stupid thing to go away, and it seems to be a random thing that comes and goes as it pleases. It if occurs at night, unless I can successfully beat it, it stays there till the next morning, when I wake up and the pain is gone. In day, its horrible because I have to go about my daily activities with this pain throbbing inside my leg around my knees. It always occurs around the joints.


Sometimes my elbows experience the same thing also, but to a smaller extent. Sometimes the pain hurt so bad I involuntarily start limping or whenever I walk, my knees start to buckle. Till now I've yet to find a reason for this inexplicable condition that occasionally relapses...


Got a cool colour-changing cup from 7-11 that turns from yellow to red when you add cold water. Thought of a nice new nick from today's mug session:


"Recent studies show that usage fo the word "f---" increases 163% during studying."


Oh yeah. About my finger? There's something wrong with it. The following paragraphs may contain a little too much information for those with weak stomachs, so just stop reading and head on over to mugalo for the latest plastic muggers or something. Lol.


Anyways...the other day I noticed a tiny bit of nail sticking out, so I decided to tear it out. Bad idea. Somehow it was connected quite deep in, so what I'd succeeded in doing was opening up a tiny bit of flesh. Fine. I got a nail clipper to remove the offending nail. The side of my finger hurt a little from this.


Few days later, still hurting, for no reason. No obvious cut, bleeding, bruises, or wounds. Then I noticed a tiny spot of green. It grew bigger by the day. Turned into a small dark green circle last night. And it just mutated and transformed into this 6mm long bubble of yellow [highly explicit content stop now this is your last warning. seriously.] pus underneath my skin and there's a funny feeling if I push around the flesh on my finger.


I dunno when it'll go pop, but I hope it soon because the damn thing's from near the end of my nail all the wayyyyy to the top of it. I have half a mind to use a penknife to cut it open or something. I suspect it may be some kind of infection which is why the Mother of all Bacterial Wars is being waged there, when explain why the amount of pus produced can multiply by 6 times in 24 hours. And pus, for the non bio students, is a mixture of dead bacteria, dead white blood cells, and toxins and all sorts of crap that got into the wound if I remember correctly...

Another day. OF THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL! Before the prelims. Nothing special I guess. CLB last lesson I think. Released early. Did some math after school, went home. Tired. Uh...Probably staying in sch to do work tomorrow. Extra lesson with H after school. Going to get flamed again, I bet. Sigh. And the last test had to be on thermochem which I basically SUCK at. That's not to say I don't suck on other topics, but it like, you know, I suck less at them. LOL. I can understand most of the stuff but its the calculations that get me.


And I've got a 25 mark essay to hand in by TOMORROW. =[


[UPDATE]
4pm: end sch
530:leave sch after doing math qns I didn't know
6pm or so:Reach home, rest
715:stop resting
8pm:run, finish run, buy dinner, get home
9:dinner ends
~distraction~
12am plus?: In the mood, finally. Still halfway through econs and yet to start on math. 7 periods straight tomorrow.(5 hours 50 mins) I might feel rather hungry and/or sleepy. Please don't let me near any sharp or pointy, or heavy and blunt objects tomorrow. I am doing all this without the aid of caffeine.

Couldn't sleep last night for some reason. Woke up really tired, and went to sch really tired. Stoned out of my mind for the first few hours of the day. Bio tuto, bio lec...sleepy. Lol. Chem lec some test...GP...I sat in the front row cos ben green-formed outta school.


Then I noticed my phone was about to die. And I wanted to tell the ppl I was messaging not to message me. Until I noticed the plug at the teacher's desk. LOL. I took out my charger, and plugged it in to leech the school's electricity for the next 2 periods. Hahaha...


Stoned in study room, wanted to mug but no mood. Went for the retest. Think I screwed up the paper. I revised for P3 but not for this. Or at least I didn't do as much as I did before P3. Either way, I still sacrificed doing my math, which is why I think it's gonna be a long night with my dear starbucks again. How sweet. The mocha frap, I mean. Bleahs. Oh getting back my next chem test results again. who wants to bet I'll get screwed again? Or at least get yelled at by H?

Um. Right. Tuition was ok today. Went to mug with Eliza at Yoshi. Was late. =X Sorry. Not a very good place to mug because there were a few idiots, strike that, I invented a new term. Psuedo-muggers behind who had their notes out and were basically talking bull and laughing loudly. =.= They might as well be regular customers who decided not to leave.


I this it was for this purpose that MP3s, and the wonderful noise-canceling earphones from Sony Ericsson were invented. We left at 7, or so, went home, came online, uploaded a whole pile of photos, and about to continue Chem. Had dinner at Yoshi. Kimchi beef. Nice. Lol.

Don't we all feel like this under the pressure of society? Something is wrong. =[

This is my answer to chemistry. A funny bulbous thingamabob with points.

Daim. Half the bag finished by 4 muggers over a span of 6 hours.

Bug.

Stress relief after mugging chem. I started drawing smileys all over my paper in highlighter.

Mug Juice saves the day! And kept me awake for more than one day. I'll try it on...Tuesday perhaps?

Emo weather.

Emo picture

Need I say more?

Try looking at this with a headache. Honestly, do you think it's useful to reproduce something that makes students eyes go POP! and then not use it at all? Its not like you're gonna use it to play Where's Wally?® Alanine?

Er? LOL.

Q:Define transformed cell
A:A cell that has been charged by the Allspark and can change into a giant cool-looking mechanised robot.
[Deleted a picture of junyu eating a GC. lol.]

The same bus that made me lose my wallet.

My teacher was annoyed when I couldn't find my hypo testing tutorial. He makes it sounds as though I'm messy. Believe me, underneath all this, there is order. Order that only the enlightened, i.e. me, can find.Blame the school for giving us to much paper. Only I know where everything is. EVERYTHING. =D

I see that they are keeping up with the trend. There's a book on how to do PW. Wow. and there's only a few copies left.


I don't wanna take chem tomorrow after school...I want to mug in the study room.
-=[K]=- hearts study room in MJC 4eva. xD
